  Sea Grant Seiche--Tubenose Goby "Leaps" to Duluth/Superior   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Tubenose gobies are still considered rare in the St. Clair River.
Ironically, because of habitat destruction, the tubenose goby is endangered in parts of its native range around the Black and Caspian seas of Eurasia.
Tubenose gobies are generally smaller than round gobies (less than 110 mm or 4 in.) and their nostrils extend beyond the smooth curve of their face.

 Procellariiformes - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
They are all highly pelagic seabirds (feeding in the open ocean), and all of them have their nostrils enclosed in one or two tubes on their straight, deeply grooved bills with hooked tips.
The latter can disable even large predatory birds with their obnoxious stomach oil, which they can project some distance.
This stomach oil is a digestive residue created in the foregut of all tubenoses except the diving petrels, and is used mainly for storage of energy rich food as well as for defence.

 Tubenose Goby
Although both the tubenose goby and the round goby were first identified in the Great Lakes Region in 1990, the round goby has become extremely abundant in the area while the tubenose goby has yet to become widespread.
Because the tubenose goby is a smaller, less aggressive species, its effect on the community is expected to be minimal.
The tubenose goby is a freshwater fish native to the waters of Eurasia, including rivers and estuaries of the Black and Caspian seas and the Sea of Azov.

 Encyclopedia: Bird migration   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
The most pelagic species, mainly in the 'tubenose' order Procellariiformes, are great wanderers, and the albatrosses of the southern oceans may circle the globe as they ride the "roaring forties" outside the breeding season.
The tubenoses in general spread thinly over large areas of open ocean, but congregate when food becomes available.
Many of them are also among the longest-distance migrants; Sooty Shearwaters nesting on the Falkland Islands migrate 14,000 km (9,000 miles) between the breeding colony and the North Atlantic Ocean off Norway, and some Manx Shearwaters do the same journey in reverse.

In 1990, two exotic fish species from the Black and Caspian Seas, the round goby Neogobius melanostomus and tubenose goby Proterorhinus marmoratus, were collected from the St. Clair River between Lake Huron and Lake Erie.
Tubenose goby populations have remained small, while the round goby has expanded throughout the St. Clair River and into the Detroit River and probably via freighters into the Lake Erie and Michigan basins (Grand and Grand Calumet Rivers, respectively).

An exotic fish species called the tubenose goby made its way into the St. Clair River after it was flushed from a ship's ballast water 11 years ago.
The tubenose hasn't spread as fast as its cousin, the round goby, but researchers were recently surprised to find the tubenose spreading further into Lake Erie.

Round and tubenose gobies were collected at sites in 23 tributaries from Lake Huron to Lake Erie to determine the extent of penetration of these nonindigenous species upstream and potential barriers to dispersal.
Tubenose gobies were found in tributaries from Lake St. Clair to Lake Erie and penetrated a maximum of 11 km upstream in the Clinton River.
Tubenose gobies seemed to proliferate more in eutrophic rivers with heavy macrophyte cover.

Population genetic structure and systematic relationships were investigated for two exotic fishes introduced to the Great Lakes in 1990, the round goby Neogobius melanostomus and the tubenose goby Proterorhinus marmoratus, using DNA sequences from the left domain of the mitochondrial DNA control region.
Samples of round gobies were compared from different sites in the Great Lakes, an introduced population from the Gulf of Gdansk in Poland, and a native population from the northern Black Sea.
No variation was detected in the tubenose goby population in the Great Lakes, which has been less successful in terms of spread and population growth.

Wisconsin fisheries biologists have discovered a new non-native fish, the tubenose goby, in Duluth/Superior harbor.
This species is related to the round goby, which has hurt Great Lakes gamefish populations with its aggressive appetite for fish eggs (especially smallmouth bass eggs).
However, the tubenose is not expected to be as much of a threat to native fish populations.

An estimated 162 exotic species now reside in the Great Lakes, including introduced sport fish.
Although the zebra mussel and sea lamprey have received the most attention, many other less apparent species profoundly affect the ecosystem, including quagga mussels, predatory zooplankton such as Cercopagis pengoi and Bythotrephes cederstroemi, the benthic amphipod Echinogammarus ischnus, and the round and tubenose gobies.
In addition to their ecological impacts, lamprey cost $10 million in control efforts each year, and zebra mussel control has totaled some $4 billion as of 2001.
